LAPEL, Ind. Lapel High School football has made history and the community is making sure the moment is celebrated.

The Bulldogs finished their regular season undefeated at 90 and kept their winning streak alive Friday night with a decisive 320 victory over Winchester in the first round of Sectional play.

Lapel resident Stephanie Evelo shared photos of the team with WRTV, hoping to bring more attention to the achievement.

Im trying to get our little 2A school some recognition. This is a momentum moment in history for Lapel High School, Evelo said.

The town of Lapel rallied behind its team in more ways than one. Residents raised money to create a special rally towel for every player and coach, commemorating the undefeated regular season.
